The Central Bank (BC) this Wednesday (2) released a step-by-step guide for Brazilians and companies to withdraw “forgotten” money in banks. Those who forgot the money will be able to access the resources from next Monday, March 7, but according to a schedule set by the central bank.
So far, more than 114 million people have accessed the BC website to see if they are entitled to appeal. Of this total, 25.9 million Brazilians have money to receive it and 88 million have not forgotten the money. In addition, 2.7 million companies have also entered the system, of which 253,000 have receivables.
In the first phase of the SVR (Systems Receivables), advisory valued at R$4 billion was released. Consultation and refunds are done exclusively through the website
https://valoresareceber.bcb.gov.br/
launched by the Central Bank.
How will the amount be withdrawn?
As announced by the Red Cross Committee, as of next Monday, citizens will be able to view their balances and request refunds on the date specified for them in the receivables system of the Central Bank. To do this, you just need to follow these steps:
Step 1
Go to the website valorareceber.bcb.gov.br. The first access to the BC website lets you know if there is money being received, but does not show the amount that will be returned.
When the inquiry is made, the customer of the bank receives a date and period for consulting the balance and requesting a refund. The page will inform a date to consult the trustee and request a withdrawal – write down this date. If citizens still do not know the date and period of withdrawal, they should visit the site and check this information immediately, without waiting for March 7.
Step 2
Log in with your Gov.br account (Silver or Gold level) in a system maintained by the Ministry of Economy. If a citizen does not have an account yet at this level, he/she must immediately register or raise the level (if his/her account is bronze) on the Gov.br website or application. The citizen should not leave this movement until the day of the rescue.
Step 3
Read and agree to the disclaimer
Step 4
Consult:
- the amount to be received;
- the institution that must return the amount;
- The origin (type) of the amount owed; And the
- Additional information, when required.
Step 5

“Order here” means that the organization offers a refund via Pix within 12 business days:
